Did you figure out what caused the glide to fail?
Sorry just saw this. Yes there was a shaving or something stuck in a bypass valve port. The trans was trying to spin low/high gear at the same time. The manufacturer rebuilt/shipped the trans back to me in less than 7 days for free.

Its defiantly FAR from perfect. My attention to detail on the little **** is lacking and it shows. The paint is shitty and the body lines are fucked... Its usually dirty and there are a slew of zip ties used on the car but this thing hauls ***, turns heads and cruises the streets reliably!
When I tore the truck back down for its current set of updates I must have cut 1000 zip ties off that bitch.
